You know you're a good rogue when _____

[Wutinni]

There are very few decent Rogues, we seem to have many Rouges though........

[sigtrent]

When the party is happy to invite another rogue to the group knowing that you can pull your weight in combat as well as trapping.

OK just to be a smart @$$:

You know your a good rogue when...


your name is Shamgard.


(Someone had to do it. lol)


With a name like Shamgard you have to be good.

In defense of the tanks, I've noticed that if I play with a great intimitank, my rogue's kill count goes WAY up!

Naw, according to the poster above, that would be a bad tank since he wouldn't lead the kill count...

I guess I don't play with many tanks that are concerned with getting aggro and not trying to kill something, and again if we are both doing massive damage its just a matter of who swung last.

[Strakeln]

no thats just a sign of having poor tanks

Actually, it would be a sign of having fantastic, real tanks. You know, ones that use their abilities to hold agro and take a beating, which enables the rogues to get sneak attacks on almost every hit...

However, it might be a sign of poor DPS builds.

I stand corrected I always think of tanks in this game as dps builds, my guild zergs, and I don't anyone who has built a straight intimitank, they all tank and kill well, stuff just never stays alive long enough to hold aggro on anything

The term "tank" is certainly stretched quite far in the DDO world.

The point you were trying to make is quite valid, however... if an offensively-focused build is losing the kill count to a rogue, they had better have a good excuse. Something along the lines of "my right mouse button fell off".

however nothing screams kill count like a crowd control caster casting mass hold person on a crowded mob, it just screams kill, kill kill to a rogue dual weilding holy burst weapons

forget holy-burst! a forest of blue-bands like that is a playground for a rogue with dual puncturers (since not everyone has w/p yet - the loot gods hate me!)

yeah that is fun, but it also fun to see just how much dmg you can put out with a holy burst of pure good rapier and short sword

My sorc carries a w/p heavy pick for mobs he has stoned/held. Not much survives beyond 3 swings.

No a sign of poor tanks is that you can;t attack without pulling aggro off them.... (sorry had a bad experience the other day, tanks were using a Para and a Vorp.... well needless to say if I didn;t want aggro I had to twiddle my thumbs, or suck it up and take the aggro)

... when your rogue can handle the aggro from poor tanks like that ..

[query]

When you're in the middle of the spell explosions, a disintigrate ray tries to hit you, but does nothing, and the Mind flayer has zapped everybody successfully but you, and you haven't taken a single point of damage, and you wail them all down. Then you stand waiting for the party's incurable daze they are in to end, tapping your foot.



When elementals are literally blowing up their elements and you are ground zero, and you're not noticing since you're debating whether to use an elemental bane and finish them, or a paralizer and let the fighters do their job.


When you detected a certain Gianthold "impossible" trap at elite (pre fix) and disable it as a multiclass. While on that Realm area.....



When the pary playing POP elite argues who forgot to get the key and you go up and unlock the door without even bothering to switch to your open lock item.


You get that price you wanted juuust over the threshold by using a rogue skill boost.

Everybody thinks you're a just a spell only combat useless wizard, and you show them how to destroy your damage multiplied exponentially enemies in melee without spells, or leave them stuck but yet unharmed for the DPS fighters (sorry, since I switched to a command item, I don't do the sneaky sneaky thing that well anymore.)


(But I still hate you mobs of Duegar! )

[caliestro]

... when your rogue can handle the aggro from poor tanks like that ..

I just don't get it my rogue loves aggro means I ****ed it off enough to hate me. of course in my rogues main hand is sirroco and my offhand is treason. once I see them go blind they are my play toy. of course mindflayer hate the +1 flameburst byshek dagger of greater abberition bane. as I say I love aggro just enough to rip apart a monster 1 at a time

[Vizzini]

You can find and disable the Cabal trap on Elite with only 9 levels of Rouge

I just thought I woulds start this little thread. This is a way for people to have fun and tell if they are a good rogue.

I'll start it off.

1) You have done an entire quest without fighting, just sneaking.

You can zerg just as effectively w/ an intimitank.

An intimitank gets everything in a nice little bunch, which is then promptly blown up by the casters (including the cleric, since he doesn't have to spend all his time staring at health bars of everyone in the group).
